For much of Sunday, Chestnut Ave. in Northeast Fresno was blocked off as Fresno Police tried to figure out who attacked who; leading to a murder.
"It happened either in the house or out in the front yard. We're getting conflicting reports," said Greg Coleman with the Fresno Police.
For police, a chair knocked over on its side is a sign of a struggle. Investigators said a man in his mid-20's was taken to St. Agnes Hospital where he died.
Lt. Greg Coleman said he had several injuries. "Not sure if gunshot or stab wounds."
A second man with head injuries was taken to community regional medical center. "Preliminary investigation shows he may be a suspect in part of this crime," said Coleman.
Detectives said they found one of the victims at a home several blocks away on Chestnut. However, crime scene investigators said the bulk of evidence like a gun and knife were found at this house, right across the street from neighbor Jeff Kimura.
"It's a very quiet neighborhood. I was surprised to come around and see crime scene tape at the corner and just outside of where my house is at," said Kimura.
Kimura had just come home from a hunting trip. His image of the ideal crime-free neighborhood was shattered by a murder a little too close to home.
"Yeah it is surprising and I hope it's not one of my neighbors that I know. But if it's somebody in their twenties sounds like somebody I wouldn't know.
Investigators are working on a motive and no arrests have been made. There is no word on the condition of the second man with head injuries taken to Community Regional Medical Center.
